I've lived in the area for 4 years after retiring. What an incredible experience tasting wines. Lived and worked in the Sonoma area before retiring and Del Reo was a great find! I believe Aubrey was working the tasting room, what a perfect host. Left with a case of wine and joined the club. Incredible experience. Thx!
I went to Del Rio a decade ago and was unimpressed. I returned yesterday and found both their whites and their reds to be excellent. In a state in which Pinot Grigio is the second most-planted grape, Del Rio's is one of the best I've ever had: almost Alsatian, with lots of spice and a wonderful nose. But I defy anyone to go to Del Rio and not find multiple wines that he or she would enjoy.
EDIT: We returned yesterday, but this time focused on the reds. The Merlot seemed tasteless when we first tried it, but it then opened up nicely into a fruit-forward wine with some wonderful spiciness after about five minutes. The Pinot Noir was another worthy addition to the list of Southern Oregon Pinots (who says you have to go to the Willamette Valley?) The Malbec was well-balanced and tasty. Our two favorites were the Cabernet Sauvignon and the Claret (roughly half Merlot, rounded out with Cab Sauv and Cab Franc). Both were delicious, but I'm going to give each of them another 4-5 years in the bottle.
We couldn’t found a place where people can sit. This winery isn’t dog friendly. Prices are super high, starting from $30 per glass. Staff didn’t care to ask us if we are looking for something. They minded their own business. I just saw a food truck where you can get some food, no chairs and no tables. Disappointed
Del Rio staff, owners, and wine are the best EVER! The best hospitality in the industry. Go visit, or grab a bottle near you. The 2019 Cab is tasting great. Cheers.
2019 Malbec and the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon were both very good. The only wine we didn't like was the 2020 Syrah. The tasting room server was very nice and knowledgeable.
Paint the vineyard pink/ hike to fight for breast cancer awareness was so much fun! I'm a survivor, and it shows you're not alone! I loved that my two biggest supports and strength hiked alongside me! I love you! Thank you to all involved
My wife and I participated in a cancer hike at Del Rio, it was the first time I had ever been there. We were able to tour the vineyard and sample some of their excellent wines. Beautiful setting, extremely friendly and helpful staff with an extra day of caring. Wonderful place.
